Well, here we are, another Monday, another week's beginning, another chance to start anew. I am happy to report that the apology I thought was never forthcoming actually happened! While I outwardly rationalized the entire incident, I was still deeply hurt by it. However, I did my best to take it in stride, not rail against that person and to continue to wish for their health & peace of mind.It's not what happens to you, it's what you do before it, during it, and after it.- Alan WeissAt times, we need to pull back, gain a bit of space for ourselves, give some space to others. While none of us are solitary islands in this life, sometimes we need that drawbridge to be raised for a while. Time and reflection can do much to bring us back to a place of ease with those who have hurt us. A place where understanding is more easily attained and forgiveness is happily given.Have a great week Everyone!Cheers!M J
